The Poetry of an Old Face

The years stroke the face with extra smiles

Hair sweeps long in wild abandon

He is all he needs or wants to be ~

Living mirror of destiny

~
But the eyes are charged with dynamite

Rare knowledge and fiery wisdom

All you need to know or want to learn

Is there glistening deep in his eyes
